Depends if the tapper is likely to hit the edge of the
screen, then we have to swap or change angle
dramatically, and have to do a certain amount even when
touch typing as control type keys need it regardless. -
shift, return, More numbers/letter/other, etc.
But a recent theme about double thumb typing offered an
interesting deviation in which case covering half the
kb each, the appropriate thumb hunts and the other
taps, and vicerVersa. ----- Original Message -----

One question for you split tappers, any tips for when
to switch the
duties of fingers? Do you have certain letter combos,
certain words,
etc where you just know you're tapper will become the
hunter? Just
having sent a couple texts with the split tap method,
that's the only
thing that seemed odd.
I've learned much from this typing discussion.
Initially, I loved the
touch typing method, but it seems to me that iOS has
gotten less responsive, even across hardware, than I
remember it being when I got
my first iOS device most of two years ago. It may just
be my
expectations, but I remember touch typing faster, and
more accurately,
when I got that device than I can now. Prompted by this
thread, I'm
trying out the split tap method and am quite intrigued.

I'm not a whiz at it, but it's working.

Ok, just trying this thumbs thing, so got the phone
sideways, so hand over
the one main speaker outlet; so couldn't hear it.
Moved hands a bit, now
doesn't hold very comfortably; but got a text donein
the end. Once you learn a thing one way, there needs
to be a darned good motivation to undo it
and learn it another.

I usually type with my thumbs, but sometimes with my
right index
finger. I became accustomed to typing with my thumbs
while using a querty keyboard on an android. I have
used a home row on a computer since age nine, so
learning to locate keys with my thumbs was not too
hard. I am not very fast, but it works. I have a
bluetooth keyboard
for longer typing needs.
